HOW THE BODY WILL PROBABLY BE ORGANIZED AT
l. THE MEETING TODAY.
Tho new Republican State Committee will meet at
noon TO day, at the Fifth Avenue HOTEL to organize for
the work Of the number Of its members
and other prominent Republicans at the hotel yes
terday discussing tho political outlook and tho affairs
of the committee Among those seen in the hotel

senator Thomas c. Plat, Chester s. Cole, Charles W.
Hackett, ex-senator Birisall, General II. A. Barnum,
Charles A Chickering, John W. vrooman, Railroad

The committee is largely made up Of new members,
there being only nine old out OF tho thirty four.
Captain Cole, who chairman Of the committee last
year; Mr.. Hackett, who chairman Of the Execu-
tive Committee, and Clerks Chickerng, and vroo-
man arc not candidates for reelection While will
Ing TO do all they toward assisting in the canvass
they have expressed tho desire that new officers be
chosen.
According to the talk yesterday only name Will
be presented for chairman Of the committee that OF
Cornelius n. Bliss the well known merchant of this
city, who was conspicuous as the Intimate friend Of
President Arthur, and who Is also prominently iden-
tilted with the Protective Tariff League. Mr.. Morton
who has been mentioned for chairman Of the CON-
mttec said yesterday that he could not accept the
place his business required his time and attention
Mr. Bliss will probably be chosen to-day by acclama
ton. In that event he will have the appointment Of
the Executive Committee, which will give Its time to
the conduct Of the canvass. There was some talk
yesterday about having Executive Committee OF
five members, instead of fifteen formerly, but the
old rule will probably be adhered to. The impression
prevailed that General John N. Knapp, Of Auburn,
would be made chairman OF the Executive committee
He was q warm friend Of ex Senator COnRiing Whne
the latter was prominent In state politics, and was
formerly treasurer Of the State Committee But ne
has not been a member Of the State Committee dn,h
this year since 1881, though he has been active In
10 nominees III Oencfdi huapP
"a not chosen for chairman of the Executive Commis-
tee some other experienced member VI the coii''oo
will be selected for the place
For secretary CT the committee the ma no most prom
inently mentioned yesterday was that VI franA -
Smith. son of Health Oncer Smith. Mr. Chickerhe'
clerk of the Assembly, will probably be chosen as as
sistaDt secretary. ..,u No.
II ia the intention OF the committee that 1t shall not
be organzed In the interest of any hcton' put 'na'
every element shall bo fairly represented
II Ia probable that the headquarters OF the COM
mttee will be In the Fifh Avenue HOTEL Many
members favor establishing permanent headquar'eis
with paid secretary who will remain at the rooms all
N, wear round This would furnish a place for Re
nubleans 10 drop In when they visit the city, and
where records would be kept up for party use Inc
proposition Is favonaby regarded, 1t being Heroy
question of expense. -
There WAS no sound of discord among those about
the hotel yesterday and the probability Is ina. uio
meeting will be one Of the most barmohious eser H''"
ans generally talked In the most confident way
% ,he nautical outlook As far can see, said
Levi T. Morton, the party is In good shape 10 WIN
victory this year. The state Convention was harnoni'
Gus and satisfactory. Not word can be said against
the ticket Everybody is feeling well and every thlns
looks we'll and think that We shall have no uOnDic
In eleetlng ticket"
In Oneida County the party Will give al exce'len'
account Of Itself" said Charles W. hacAe'" in'
state ticket Is an excellent and has been well re-
c.lvsa The Prohibition vote In the state may be
lille larger than last year but It will be more than
Offset by the Labor vote. Judging from the tccng IN
my dlsttcI look for the election OF tho state TICKET

conniv adding: "'Tho ticket Will be elected. don't
sec wha' l. 20 prevent H." -,..
